The William Floyd School District has recently acquired an Anatomage Table, a groundbreaking piece of equipment that is described as the most technologically advanced 3D visualization and virtual dissection tool for anatomy and physiology education available. This technology will be used to supplement lessons in the Medical Assisting program, part of the high school’s award-winning Career and Technical Education program, as well as the science department’s anatomy and physiology classes. The William Floyd School District is among just a small number of public schools on Long Island to have this tool available for student use.

Moriches Elementary School recently celebrated their annual WARM Week – an acronym for “We Are Reading More,” a fun five-day celebration. This year’s theme was “Reading at Moriches is Magical!” Students and staff dressed up in a special theme each day of the week! During WARM Week, the school community also came together and collected approximately 100 pairs of new warm socks to donate to local relief agencies such as Colonial Youth and Family Services and Nana’s House to help their neighbors in need.

William Floyd Middle School students recently had the opportunity to go where few students have gone before – the faculty lounge! As a reward for being “caught doing the right thing,” 120 students were treated to a special PBIS luncheon with the theme “A Taste of Italy.”

Coinciding with the beginning of March and the celebration of Youth Art & Music Month, the William Floyd School District Fine Arts Department hosted their largest districtwide art show to date! Now held in William Floyd High School’s south lobby, the Fine Arts department welcomed hundreds of community residents to take in all of the stunning visual artwork made by students from across the district.

Second-grade students at Nathaniel Woodhull Elementary School recently put their creative skills to the test by designing cardboard arcade games! Inspired by “Caine’s Arcade,” a story about a nine-year-old who built an arcade out of cardboard in his father’s auto shop, students took their favorite forms of entertainment and turned them into retro video games similar to those found in an arcade!

Earlier this school year, Tangier Smith Elementary School third-grade students had the opportunity to meet with representatives from PSEG Long Island as part of the Safety Sleuth initiative, an interactive program designed to educate students about the importance of electrical safety and the important role that lineworkers have in keeping society running on a day-to-day basis.
